Green Man Gaming has been mentioned a lot recently. They seem pretty legit. They have two Weekend Sale items up right now.
Aliens vs Predator – $4.95 ($19.99)
Football Manager 2011 – $19.95 ($39.99)
Both of these games DO activate on Steam. In fact Steam is required to run these games.
AvP is supposed to be pretty good. Football Manager is not American football but in fact Association Football aka Soccer. I’m not sure what the gameplay is though. I think it might be a simulation type of game. Draft players, set up playbooks, etc. Don’t quote me on that though.
Ok more on GMG. I’ve heard they’ve had issues with CD keys in the past. I.E. running out of keys. Keep in mind this has happened on Steam, Prey, and probably all the other digital download services. I’ve heard their ‘Capsule’ program is a little buggy but they are still pretty new so I think these small problems will be solved in due time. An interesting thing about this site is you can trade back in your digital games for cash. This is why they’re attracting a lot of publishers to their service.
Slightly off topic but doesn’t anyone else think the GMG logo sort of looks like the Reddit alien?
